MARCH 14, 1914. THE CLEMENT BAYARD MONOPLANE.-View of the chassis and front, and on the right a view from behind. is employed, only the ribs for (he supporting surfaces being made of wood. An uncovered wing will be on view at Olympia. The steel tubes for the landing chassis are of circular section, but, to reduce air resistance, they have been fitted with wooden streamlines. In addition to the Clement dirigible engine, which is referred to elsewhere, the Avi-auto carburettor, for which special advantages such as raising the nacelle, so that the line of thrust now passes approximately through the centre of the gap. The tail outrigger, which is now of a slightly different form, carries at its rear extremities a tail plane of the monoplane type, surmounted by two rudders. The arrangement of the pilot's and passenger's seats, as well as of the tanks, will be found to be different from that of the usual M. Farman, whilst a close inspection of the whole machine will reveal numerous ingenious details of construction, which will be dealt with in a later detailed description. The 80 h.p. Clement Bayard monoplane. are claimed, the Aerophote camera, specially designed for aerial work, the La Las Aeroplane telephone, and various forms of the C.A.D. Remote Control apparatus will be exhibited on this stand. Farman (The Aircraft Manufacturing- Co., Ltd.) (41.) Wux show two machines of exceptional interest, inasmuch as neither of them have previously been shown in public in this country. One of these machines will be a H. Farman hydro., mainly in teresting on account of the ingenious way in which the floats are sprung in order to minimise shock on alighting. In its general arrangement this machine will be similar to its predecessors which have already established such an excellent reputation for the Farman The 70 h.p, new M. Farman biplane. Two complete nacelles, one H. Farman and one M. Farman, will complete this exhibit. Grahame-White (Grahame-White Aviation Co.). (40.) ON the stand of the Grahame-White Avation Co., Ltd., will be shown two biplanes, one of which is already known to our readers through descriptions in the columns of FLIGHT, i.e., the five-seater biplane which established a record by carrying ten passengers at Hendon. This machine will be all-British, as it will be fitted with a 100 h.p. Green engine. The other biplane will be The 80 h.p. H. Farman seaplane. firm in this country and abroad, but several detail innovations will be found to have been incorporated in its construction. The second machine shown on this stand will be a M. Farman biplane of the new type without a front elevator. Several altera tions from previous types of this well-known make have been effected. Most noticeable of these is, of course, the disappearance of the front elevator, which has been followed by other changes, 266 The new 100 h.p. Grahame-White biplane. of the pusher type fitted with one of the new Gnome 100 h.p. mono- soupapc engines. Several highly interesting constructional details have been incorporated in this machine, whilst the general arrange ment is such as to make it specially suitable for military purposes, l.he machine, as shown, will be fitted with a land chassis, but a ainerent form of chassis having floats instead of wheels can be easily and quickly fitted, thus turning the machine into a waterplane.
